  • Purpose
    The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a tool to measure job stress related to occupational characteristics of infection control nurses.
  • Methods
    The tool was developed through the steps of literature reviews, preparatory questions, and a test of validity and confidence. The participants were 212 infection control nurses from 145 Korean hospitals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Cronbach's α coefficients, item analysis, factor analysis.
  • Results
    Through factor analysis, 38 items in four domains and nine factors were derived. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the final instrument was .95.
  • Conclusion
    The results of this study indicate that the measurement tool is reliable and valid to measure the job stress of infection control nurses.
